Rip sites
seeing we tend to be on the subject lately
Sunday, July 8, 2007 by SKoriginals | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I have found yet another site that not only has skin rips but also programs as well like Rumshot... go figure right
http://computer-arts.info/index.php
this particular user seems to be big on posting things
http://computer-arts.info/user/UlyssesD/
I have seen windowblinds, wallpapers, icons, cursor, ect on this site... sometimes the original authors name is included, sometimes its not.. also, sometimes there is a link to the original download and sometimes not.
Check it out yourself and you decide what you would like to do.
I have no clue how to contact anyone directly related to the site itself, maybe someone else can?

Neither could I. I could not bear to just read this nonsense and not reply.

Are you for real? Either You have no idea what you are talking about.....
Or you have no moral sense.....
Rapidshare is the the choice of upload for many warez groups, consequently much of the content uploaded to Rapidshare is pirated and split into 100MB rar files. The pirated links are posted on forums and piracy websites around the world. Rapidshare has a reputation on being slow to delete files which are pirated, allowing copyrighted material to stay undeleted on Rapidshare servers for weeks, sometimes even months. Although Rapidshare has put measures in place to prevent piracy, Rapidshare gets reportedly thousands of pirated uploads per day.

Internet as it exists now, has no nationality, humans are equal in any country.Frankly speaking, Internet has no limitations: laws remain only words.
The next question is for designers: why do you do your work? Why do you post it here? What do you expect from users? Money? Success? Fame? The most common answer is fame. So let other people be excited with your creations and increase your "fame level".
Or you have no moral sense.....
....A factory produces the goods, you go to the nearest mediator (e.g.shop) and get what you want. The mediator is the "ripping"-site, the goods are GUI stuff and the factory is a known public site....
Mediator-sites are often to reupload original archives to mass-share sites (Like Rapidshare).

Peoples, please see any forum.
At this pages many topics to alone software created not by site-owners.
Do authors of this topics ask permissions from ALL authors of software ? Not.
And you are talking about ripping ? All internet - is a rip ?
This is no rip, when exists direct link to author's page, this is a only "quote".
Ant this "quotation" is allowed by any law. Please read law.

the problems there was that the site in his news put direct download links (thought that you don't see the page of the authors but download the files directly) that's not "quotation"
Laws are there to be respected and followed
Please to those who can't understand:
Guess it is a bite difficult for the owner of this site means Computers arts to shutdown his site. He made the good decision and i guess he will ask for permissions now, So maybe you will see this site sooner or later back to the scene.
But for now debate of it is it necessary when the owner agree with that laws and close his site to follow it?
A bite of respect will be welcome thought.
Respect the courage of this guy and his honesty
He came here to dialog with us about his site,
He saw that there are weird things in his site
and close it in waiting for clean it up.
I applause
Respect the laws
Respect the artists/skinners/.... and their rights
my thoughts for that worth

since i don't wanna violating the international Copyright Law i decide to take the page down untill i get some permission from authors.
I applauded dj.hmelnitzki for doing what is right in correcting the problem. If permission were asked to post my material I would have more then likely provided it. The fact remains my skins are posted for personal use ONLY, this does not include reposting on another site for that sites use.
ditto
